...stand out points shown in this, included Geoffrey Boycott scoring his 100th, hundred score against Australia. From the 1970's it has to be said that the quality of television begins to improve in quality, and this DVD provides such evidence in terms of being able to watch cricket on a television. England win the series 5-1 though this is mainly down to the Australian team signing up to the World series event and unable to play against England. From a historical factual point of view, the details contained here make this really a most enjoyable sporting history film to watch. 1981 Ian Botham is shown scoring big totals with the bat, and Bob Willis taking some great wickets.

Advantages: Lots of footage, Features some amazing shots bowls and catches
Disadvantages: A lot of black and white footage

I would suggest people sit down and thoroughly watch it all to really grasp the importance of the DVD. As this particular DVD you need to watch the beginning and the end to understand it....
